This is a reproduction or novelty item, not a circulating banknote. The United States has never issued a "State of South Carolina" dollar note — currency authority rests solely with the federal government, and no U.S. state has issued legal tender paper money since the National Banking Acts of the 1860s effectively ended that practice. The 2022 date, paper composition, and hologram security feature together suggest a souvenir or commemorative piece produced for the retail gift market rather than any monetary purpose.
